Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez has reaffirmed his belief he's been a success at Stamford Bridge.

He is fully aware his six-month reign at the Bridge will be judged on whether he wins trophies and qualifies for next season's Champions League.

"You cannot stop people thinking like that," said Benitez, an FA Cup winner with Liverpool in 2006 - the last final to be played in Cardiff.

"In 10 years' time, they will not remember we did this playing with Paulo Ferreira and Nathan Ake, but you know what you have done with the players you had. I want to finish in the top three and win at least one trophy.

"But I have to say again, I think I have done a good job. We got to the semi-finals of the Capital One Cup, two semi-finals now and third in the league with a squad in transition, with young players.

"You can see the lack of experience, but we're working hard. We are pleased and want to keep doing that."
